Jason Collett -- best known as a member of Broken Social Scene -- has a new album coming out in the fall, and in anticipation of that release, he's unveiled a brand-new video for the song "I Wanna Rob a Bank."

Debuting exclusively here at HuffPost Entertainment, "I Wanna Rob a Bank" doesn't play out like an ordinary music video; as directed by Corey Ogilvie, the clip includes real-life Occupy protestors as captured by Ogilvie's cameras for his "Occupy The Movie" documentary. It's an inside look at the movement, and the "I Wanna Rob a Bank" video really manages to put a face on the protest in ways that haven't been seen before. (Expect to see Ogilvie's doc in theaters by 2013 at the latest.)

"I Wanna Rob a Bank" is the first single off Reckon, which also includes appearances from Afie Jurvanen, Basia Bulat, Kevin Drew and Zeus.

“The consistent thread throughout this record is loss,” Collett said. “The love songs are largely emotive reflections of the ‘political’ songs. All written through the distillation of events since the economic calamity of 2008 and it’s insidiously long looming shadow. I’ve seen first hand the kind of devastation this crisis has wrecked upon much of the world I’ve toured these last few years. The shut-down-shops and for-closed homes on the suburban fringes as I’ve made my way to and from cities I’ve played. This record is a personal reflection of the crisis we’ve all witnessed and read about every day in the paper. Calling it Reckon is an acknowledgement of loss ... lost jobs, lost homes, loss of faith in our political and financial institutions and in turn, loss of illusion.”

Reckon will be accompanied by Essential Cuts, a bonus 11-song career-spanning retrospective disc that includes two previously unreleased b-sides.
